Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Cynarine is a hydroxycinnamic acid and a biologically active chemical constituent of artichoke.[1] Chemically, it is an ester formed from quinic acid and two units of caffeic acid. It inhibits taste receptors, making water (and other foods and drinks) seem sweet.[2]
